High above Vevey towers the mountain known as Les Pléiades. Here, there is a thematic trail called Astro Pléiades that focuses on the cosmos, the planets and our sun system, dedicated to Swiss astronaut Claude Nicollier. Four different stations contain information that are of interest to those interested in space. And of course, the beautiful landscapes leave nothing to be desired for.

Description

The astronomical theme of this thematic trail already begins when taking the train called "Train des Etoiles" (Train of the Stars) from Vevey. Once up at the mountain station, the well-maintained trail explains four different themes. The first stop explains the "Earth as an Observatory", the second is dedicated to the "Secrets of the Sun System". The third station explains the closest fixed stars, and the fourth one our galaxy, the Milky Way.
